If you think you’re sad for your 3-day weekend to be over, imagine how I feel. It’s the end of a 10-day weekend for me! My life is so tragic. I know you all feel so terrible for me. Your sympathy keeps me going, as does the fact that I get to wear real clothes again. That’s the best way I can think of to make going back to work after a beach vacation seem like a good change: I get to put on heels and dresses again, and they won’t be full of sand at the end of the day.

This is the last of the outfit photos I have from before my trip. I’ll be a whole shade darker in the next post (be a doll and pretend you can tell the difference tomorrow).

I last wore this dress on a weekend and had been wanting to re-wear it to work, but let me tell you: it was a challenge. A skirt this poofy has a retro vibe that really only feels right at a cocktail party these days. It would be easier if it were the late 50s or early 60s. But then again, if it were, I would most likely be a secretary and my husband would be the lawyer. Not that there’s anything wrong with being a secretary or having a husband, but, you know…neither one is really my style. 😉

I tried it with a tuxedo-style blazer, which looked awesome (note to self: wear that later), but still too dressed up. In the end, I decided that an “almost” chambray button up was a good way to dress down this fancy frock and disguise it as a skirt. Definitely not your traditional business casual look, but something tells me no one reads this blog for ideas on “traditional” anything.
